Good value for money half day trip to the beautiful waterfalls. Our guide Steve was very friendly and had good banter telling us about the areas we were passing by on the way up to the falls. Very comfortable air conditioned coach for the journey. The waterfalls were amazing and a great trip to get away from the Benidorm madness. The falls are pretty busy too as its a big attraction for us tourists and the resident Spanish folks. But a great way to spend a few hours in different scenery. Extremely hot but the weather right now in Benidorm is extremely hot anyway. This is a great half day tour, picked up at 1.30pm then dropped back off about 6.45pm. Would reccomend this company. Many thanks.
Steve was a great tour guide, gave a really great lunch recommendation. The entrance to the falls was smooth with the tour wristbands and it was beautiful. I would say you definitely need wetsuit boots if you want to go in the waterfall as it is very rocky.
Highly recommend the Algar Waterfalls Coach trip! We went today and walked 15 minutes from our hotel to the Gran Hotel Bali meeting point. We booked through GetYourGuide so there were only 4 meeting points, but were advised by our helpful coach that booking directly through Round Town Travel means there’s usually more pick up points to choose from, so I’d recommend looking at that. Our guide, Stuart, was very informative on the journey to the waterfalls, letting us know different facts. Stuart was clear on when and where we should meet up again and our driver, Gregory, did a great job too. Thank you so much!
Excellent trip to Algar Waterfall. Shout out to our tour guide, Steve, very helpful and knowledgeable. Would definitely do another tour!
The coach didn't arrive at the area of the hotel we were told but the tour guide; Steve, was excellent, very outgoing and pleasant, the coach ride was also comfortable and pleasant. The site itself was stunning but the fact that the picnic areas were closed hampered our enjoyment and experience, the only picnic area that was useable was one where you had to buy a drink first which we weren’t going to as we had our own.
Such a magical beautiful place, the highlight of my holiday! The perfect amount of time to enjoy our experience
My second time going to the waterfalls and it was lovely. Will was a great guide and Gregory the coach driver was very friendly. My only complaint would be that one of the waitresses in the cafe/bar was quite impatient and rude, I will not be going in there again should I visit Algar.
Taking water shoes with you is a A MUST!!! If you choose Poseidon Playa Hotel as your pick up destination..make sure you go to the PLAYA one, it is on the beach front…there are 2 Poseidon hotels…but the other is a 20 minute taxi ride away. A good steep 7-8 minute incline from the coach drop off to the entrance…gets the heart banging 🤣. The waterfalls were lovely..not particularly breathtaking but still a lovely couple of hours to spend there with a picnic and entering the water which in most parts was shallow (knee high) and child friendly with supervision. We arrived at around 11:30 and it was busy enough but not rammed. Good few but mainly short steps to climb (mainly made of rock but some made of grid metal) some pathways are uneven with tree roots poking out so be vigilant in your steps. There are toilet facilities (3 cubicles for the ladies) to get dressed in. Overall, a lovely half day out, our guide and driver were both lovely, competent, knowledgeable and very cheerful. In total we had 2.5 hrs at the falls which was plenty of time to explore,swim and visit the cafe. We were picked up at Posieden PLAYA hotel at 10:35 and dropped back at 3:30 all for around €22 each 🥳 WORTH EVERY PENNY
What a lovely guide called will!! He was very informative very friendly and also very funny . Thanks to the driver called Darling too , his name matches personality ! Great trip with the best experience I’ve had in a long time . 10/10
